Roll The Tanks may be the most ambitious band in LA. In a scene with bands on every corner, the Tanks guys set out to get the world to notice their Replacements-y, Kinks influenced rock and roll sound by building a studio in a garage by hand, where they aimed their sights on making a big unapologetic rock record. These are the first two tracks from those sessions.
The single’s title track, Goodnight Jimmy Lee is a reckless, ball busting ode to fallen rocker Jay Reatard that sounds like it could have been written by Paul Westerberg, and the b-side, Pistolero, is a Lemonheads-y uptempo acoustic-tinged jam that recalls the heyday of 90’s indie rock. As if these influences weren’t unimpeachable enough, the cover of the 7” is Scratch n’ Sniff! Talk about form meets function!
